Role of Parents in the Prevention of Child Abuse

The prime objective of this study was the role of parents in the prevention of child abuse. Child abuse is a complex and multi faceted problem that affects millions of children around the world. It can occur in any family, regardless of socio economic status, race, or cultural background. Child abuse can take many forms, including physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, and neglect. Each of these types of abuse can have severe and long lasting consequences on a child's physical, mental health, and can even result in death. According to a study conducted by the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights NCPCR , nearly 55 of children in India experienced some kind of abuse. This number is incredibly high and points to a serious issue that needs to be addressed. In this study, the interview schedule method was used to collect the data from 60 respondents and a Purposive sampling method was used as a technique to select the study area and samples. The study revealed that child abuse can have long term effects on a childs mental health and emotional health.
